The Internet made its way into everyday life as a tool people used
occasionally to keep in touch with friends and gather information for
personal or business needs. Now, thanks to high-speed connections,
wireless access, and safe and powerful Web sites, the Internet has
become the main means for handling personal finance, shopping for
big-ticket items, and communicating with people around the world. It's
to the point where many people can't get through the day without
turning to the Internet to get things accomplished.
The Everyday Internet All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies is the
complete resource for casual Internet users who are looking to make the
jump to becoming experienced navigators of the wired world. Written by

of going online before heading into the realms of online bargain
shopping, bill paying, personal finance, keeping up with hobbies, and
even setting up an online business.
